Mr Bull said he was often reduced to tears following the abuse, leaving him open to bullying from other students.

He became too afraid to report the alleged attacks and stopped eating out of fear of facing Mr Windsor in the school dining room.

Mr Bull said he saw Mr Windsor a few years ago and when he mentioned the torment he inflicted at school, the former independent MP changed the subject.

Another student, Tim Williams, 60, said he broke out in welts after being 'walloped' with a riding crop by Mr Windsor and ended up sleeping on the verandah to avoid his beatings.

Mr Windsor, now 65, was given the nickname 'Hood Windsor,' according to his alleged victims.

A third former schoolmate Peter Young said he witnessed Mr Windsor smack other students with riding whips and claims the abuse was part of a 'SACK system' where older boys would pick on younger students.

Two other men came forward and told The Australian how they too were beaten with riding crops.

He refused to comment when the newspaper contacted him.

In 2009, bullying at Farrer Memorial Agricultural High School was brought to light with one former student successfully suing the school for $500,000 after he was abused by fellow students.

The court heard there were three types of bullying by 'SACK' students, including younger boys being hit on the buttocks with a broom and hit over the head with a ruler.
